Campus housing began in the unfinished basement of Fort Worth Hall in 1910 when the seminary moved from Waco to the present campus in Fort Worth. Today, the seminary provides more than 400 apartments and houses and more than 350 spaces in two residence halls.

To apply for housing, you must be an approved student. At the time of move-in, the student must be (or will be at the next registration period) a bona fide student enrolled for academic credit in an approved Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary degree program, maintaining a minimum of six (6) on-campus hours per semester (spring and fall).

Why Campus Housing

  1. Location. Campus housing places residents a short distance from student facilities on campus (i.e., classrooms, library, student center, business office, etc.). The majority of housing units are located within two blocks of the seminary.
  2. Quality and Service. Campus housing is maintained by an in-house facilities team. All units are serviced and cleaned prior to arrival. After-hour emergency maintenance calls are received by a real person and addressed by an on-call maintenance representative as appropriate.
  3. Community. Campus housing offers residents to build lasting friendships that will enrich their academic experience and encourage future ministry.
  4. Economy. Campus housing typically runs 40-50% less than comparable facilities in the area.
  5. Safety. In addition to attentive, caring neighbors, the student housing is patrolled 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year by our highly trained Campus Police. This police department works in concert with the FWPD and brings an added layer of protection for our residents.

FAQs

  • Campus housing is reserved for current students who are enrolled in six on-campus credits each spring and fall semester (online and partial term students are not eligible). One may apply for housing after receiving approval from the Office of Admissions (new students) or the Registrar’s Office (returning students). Online applications to become a student at Southwestern are available here.

Residence Hall FAQs
